"I spent one month volunteering here, at Iracambi, in the Atlantic rainforest and it was quite an experience. It is an absolutely beautiful place to live and the people in the area are filled with a wealth of knowledge regarding forests, agriculture, and conservation. As per the previous review, life here is what you make of it. Take the time to learn Portuguese in order to be capable of communicating with the local residents and push yourself to get involved with the activities going on. "
